SPRINGFIELD – Undercover narcotics detectives, aided by federal investigators, arrested a 29-year-old man and 26-year-old woman from Chicopee who had the woman’s 3-year-old daughter with them Tuesday as they made cocaine deliveries in the city.

Sgt. John M. Delaney said investigators determined the couple were making “drops” throughout Springfield.

Investigators tailed the couple’s green Honda to a location on Home Street in the Liberty Heights neighborhood where the couple sat and waited with the toddler in the back seat.

A few minutes later, somebody approached the car and police moved in to interrupt the drug transaction.

The man, Abismael Martinez, 29, of 70 Broadway St. Chicopee, resisted arrest. He had 3.6 grams of cocaine and $966 in cash in his possession, Delaney, aide to Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet said.
